The current route towards KL is 3 times longer than the blocked access road. worst still they have the pay the toll charge. Imagine when you stay in Bandar Mahkota Cheras and you need to travel to KL everyday. This is a burden to the peoples.

This is what prompt the residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras and Bandar Sg Long come out to protest against the closure of a road that leads to both housing areas.
